La Flor Dominicana’s TCFKA “M” Collector’s Edition Returns for 2019 Holiday Season
One of La Flor Dominicana’s more artistic creations is returning for the upcoming holiday season, the TCFKA “M” 2019 Collector’s Edition.
The cigar is similar to the one released in 2016, which was the most recent release. It wears an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper with Connecticut broadleaf maduro accents used to create the distinctive design, while the binder comes from the Dominican Republic and the filler is a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan leaves. It is available in a single, 7 x 55 perfecto vitola, with individual cigars priced at $22 and the five-count box at $110.
As for the unusual name, it’s an acronym that refers back to a previous name for the cigar: The Cigar Formerly Known as “M,” with that final letter standing for Mysterioso. In Nov. 2014, La Flor Dominicana changed the name to the acronym after Connecticut Valley Tobacconist, a retail operation in Enfield, Conn. and parent company of the Old Battleground line of cigars, filed a lawsuit claiming it had rights to that word, as well as Mysterio.
Production numbers have not yet been announced, but it will be a nationwide, limited edition release, according to Jon Carney, the company’s vp of sales. It is expected to begin shipping in late November.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
